My favorite part of remix was playing with my friends Ghash and Pash
Visibility hasnt changed but yeah that goes away with season end
Easy way to get extra bronze if you need it
Oh. I think the only shit I didn't end up buying is the cloak vendor stuff because I only recently learned he was there
And the housing stuff that required achievements because I don't really go for achievements much
You are an achievement
if you're really iron man gimme a small loan of a million buckaroonis
1 million smackeroos
1 thousand thousand fun bucks
Best I can do is one million doll hairs
Why do you have so many doll hairs
catnip overdose
i mean, it's all in the eye of the beholder, right
r/redpill posters all think "taking the red pill" is good
idk if that's a subreddit that still exists and i'm not gonna visit but you know what i mean
i'm bedpilled and sleepmaxxing
That’s not a color
Is green pilled good
Green means go and that sounds like progress
when i google that term i get a book called "greenpilled: how crypto can regenerate the world"
so probably not that one............
yeah i think no one that uses any colorpill terms unironically is in a good place tbh
Alright that settles it
We’re all going to just stick to reading Harrow’s pfp manga
So we can be well adjusted and smart
i like it when people use it for silly things
like saying you're goofypilled
sillymaxing
its still there, and yes its still a cesspool.
When you’re our age there are many good pills
A lot of them are blue
Back to my hole
Roidstack was big on pills then he disappeared
I am not playing midnight it’s sad times boys
D:
I’m joining nom in Valhalla for retired warriors
Life said no
Sadge
I got my elite pvp set for warrior this season, babys first
Gonna look slick in midnight
That's not where you're supposed to put the blue pills, man
Works so much faster
Team whats the FASTEST, LEAST EFFORT way to get a pair of HERO TRACK wrists
Is it life or is it midnight
It’s life, lol
Craft them
Life for me also
Weekly +11 delve shit with alts
Do you not have like 500 extra sparks
I’ll still try to level a character up I think but I don’t see how I’ll have time for more challenging things
I cant catalyze crafted wrists
delve 
I just said i need the appearances smh my DAMN head
Won't the tazavesh drop a hero track item on every single boss
True but im not bringing this shitass priest to our hardmode extravaganza
Hey be nice im gonna be a big shadow priest next xpac :3
Will you still remember us once youve made it large?
How did it feel to carry a group of npcs pretending to be lesser people?
And what was your response to the liquid invite
Disheartening honestly, look at what it took for them to achieve a fraction of my power.
Also it was actually echo, and I turned down their peasant wage post haste
wtf
this is 10 minutes from now no one is available
cam isn't home for like 2 more hours
right its in 3 hours
This got me. What a fantastic sentence lmfao
People caring about being optimized in prepatch is wild
Alright nerds ping me when we’re doing HM TV
go to frost 😂
Fdk? Id rather not lmao
Oh i read all the mage channels i just didnt think we were talking about them
Theyre all just trying to figure it all out, not necessarily just for prepatch
Manather already released a vid lol
Idk mage discord is a little too serious and busy rn for me
Came here for Prot info...nice to see it’s the same old slop as all of the internet...ie, ignorance thinking it is educated.

This is tyranny
Too late


Hello yes I'm reporting for tazavesh duty
Literally walking home
Copy that ghost rider
Ill have to hit some dummies to learn my buttons rq
No rush
awesome cat
ditto
damn if i had known how long you goobs would take to appear I'd've snoozed more myself smh
same
On ze way
also let's use your disc plz i don't want randoms joining in skyhold vc 
Fake news nome is just a brown name
ok let the record show we are now waiting on nim and ghash
my lateness was totally fine

Have you started yet
Is tclap still a generator or a spender now in midnight? The tool tips on WoW head are all wonky
the power of friendship did not succeed, team
Still a generator
Please forgive my girlish scream at the end
I had a massive frame drop right as the adds spawned so ngl that was giga unlucky on top of it being my kick
but i had also charged out of kick range in that exact gcd anyway so it was joever
i think the moral of the story is maybe we shouldn't leave that until 2 days before prepatch
or i shouldn't mess up kicks who knows
well, tbf we had an overlap earlier on or we probably would've still been fine
sorry man we missed your msg
dw there were "incidents" 

btw there are 2 achieves, one for completing
lol maybe
it was fun though we should try with the third set of alts
like we mentioned

You got this
we had a jolly good time
we got it in the bag
100% want to try a scuffed alt run
i would if i had one
ah
not 1 for 1
but this is type of desk i have now
which is solid as a bank vault door
the top layer would make good surface after refinish
figured it could be less boomer
then i saw and got 1 shot by the "slutty desk" as someone put it
wat
learn2english comprehension
the slutty desk
That being Yogi's desk is somehow both not surprising and surprising at the same time
and absolutely hilarious
But can it play doom?
im sure he can play doom on it, which is enough
<@&257983573498265600>
note the date and time
i actually have doom running on lets just call it ipad for simple terms basically 247
i dont have this on my pc bc as far as i know or care, it doesnt exist.
doom was so big and powerful back in those days it had the same type of energy as skibidi toilet on tik tok
True
Are those drawers on your desk full of like old game guides?
You know how guides and tips used to come in books/magazines
Ya where the cheat codes at
well they cant really because every game needs some sort of live service attached to it etc etc

so why give them codes, when players can pay for cheat like effects

Hey guys why do we have 0 drakthyrs in top x% of m+? knockup not worth?
A racial CC is less important in a very well oiled and coordinated M+ pushing comp
Meld and Stoneform are very powerful in M+
However I play Dracthyr because I like the little hop glide :3
I play drac for char customisation
far as i know you can get knock up effect from coll
have to imagine thats part of it, that and i think you rely on dps to have it more
That's why i like your Jakey; you're a funny guy
Also Tauren will be significantly better next expansion (compared to now), since stuns don't immune anymore
Also this is actually a real true
havent even concidered it
Waaait
No dr in midnight ?
Diminishing return or whatever the actual words are called * xd
they still DR but they never go to being immune so it will still stop casts
Ok so indeed taurens will be objectively better than drakthyrs xD
Aiight nice info anyway 
For Warrior? It’s actually good race for PvP. More base versa and an extra stun. For PvE it’s whatever compared to dragon. Both racials are meh and other ones from dwarf/human/troll/orc/ne are better
It's objectively better than dracthyr in midnight because it's half the cooldown and does essentially the same thing
What, like the race?
i think you guys would be pretty no matter what you pick for your warrior

Nelf or you failed
simple as
This is why:
It solves:
||- Group being bitching bitches, kill em
- Co-tank doesnt taunt, no problemo
- Want to do skips, you do skips
- Tankbusters and certain mechanics bug out
- All your insecurities||
Ngl that’s a very compelling list of benefits
Just manually realized you shadowmeld and team just get obliterated immediately LMAO
For some reason haven’t thought of that
Until you mentioned it
Came here for Prot info...nice to see it’s the same old slop as all of the internet...ie, ignorance thinking it is educated.
That was the only halloween pic i still had on phone :(
Generally, when it comes to racial choice at the very top: unless there’s a racial that enables a pull or allows survival, you go for damage increase
Which most racials that offered decent damage increase wont be as effective with squish
But it also doesnt usually matter unless youre doing above title keys, or even mdi
Im sure if we all wait for mdi, we’ll see what the best races are and we can all swap
Nah, we just all roll nelf female and live our best lives
And when it’s vulpera, we can all suffer and go hang out in dreamgrove with pash
Vulpera just too good quality of life can’t give it up
8 bag slots, hearthstone anywhere outside, 40 yard pulling ability/ off heal, nose for trouble
Does flips
Makes people rage when you kill them in PvP
Makes people rage in general actually
So good
smol shields suck
My war was vulpera originally. Mog just looks shit on them tbh
Wrong
big shields>smol shields
Vulpera cringe, goblin better simple as
Ngl tho, brown name is the best name colour. No bells, no whistles, just warrior
Spoken like a mage player
That we can blindly follow
Probably the fact that nelfs are kinda ugly
Bad proportions
Big shoulders
Big ears that clip
I hope to never need to play nelf again
I'm just not a big elf fan in general
idk it's terrifying
Omg I just watched elf like a week ago
in the before times i have/had mechagnome dk general
and mage
generally like most base horde/ally race abilities, 50/50 for expansion ones
Pugging last week of the season is a fantastic experience
what do you expect from a mortal kombat player who doesn't even know it's kahn, not khan? smh
Reporting people for low dps is already ridiculous but it's hilarious that he was one of them
Lol
incredible exchange
Maybe saying they have low fps/performance?
That's like $500 in today's economy

fwiw I prob have some kind of sleep disorder
literal skill issue
I have sleep apnea i think
true

i cant sleep longer than like 6 hours max
yeah you might wanna get tested for that
sleep apnea literally deletes like years off your life
i got referral from doctor few days ago to get sleep study
Isn't sleep apnea the one where you basically just randomly stop breathing while you're asleep
yes
if you ever hear someone sleeping with sleep apnea it's actually very scary
not proud to say it and yeah worried i have taken many years off my life
because you'll just hear nothing for a bit and then like a crazy gasp
yep
lots of sleep apnea just seems like snoring to other people
If you get it fixed with a CPAP or whatever you need to do you'll prob reverse any damage
I saw a study like last year I think and they found that even in severe apnea the brain damage can be like entirely reversed
yeah im working to lose weight right now.. been walking 10k steps a day and watching what i eat
but yeah i also getting cpap soon
doing sleep study this week even
Gonna be hard to study while you’re asleep
not with this disease lmao
Does that require special training
tbf sleeping poorly in general is really bad for your health in general
is like every time you don't really get 8h of sleep your life expectancy goes down markedly
I try to get 12 hours a day
i heard oversleep can be just as bad if not worse
no way oversleep is worse
Yeah like if you go to sleep while you’re driving that’s pretty bad for your health
I wonder if it's just from being extra sedentary
lol
or if you're oversleeping just cause you're not resting properly in the first place cause of something wrong
I mean my sleeping is fucked
I’m glad I can provide some laughs during this trying time
I have random bouts of horrible insomnia followed by random bouts of sleeping too much
they both bad but: Long sleep (generally >9 hours) is similarly linked to higher risks of cognitive decline, depression, inflammation, metabolic problems (like diabetes and obesity), cardiovascular disease, and elevated mortality.
Elevated Mortality is my band name now
but it's probably my depression hehe
Hope the sleep study goes well
i mean "chronically sleeping more than 9h a day" (as an adult/not giga old) is just like
called depression

I mean yeah its sort of a vicious cycle I suppose
Who doesn’t have a little depression though, y’know
perhaps the oversleeping is fueling the depression though?
i wish i could oversleep at this point i swear
ty
Just put your bed on a platform
This is good
lol
That's how I have sleepovers too. It's multipurpose
oh apparently my sleeping issues could just be my adhd
havent had a sleepover in like 30 years
I never really thought about that
You can even get more overage if you put a bunk bed on a platform and sleep on the top bunk
oh lmao
Nah apb just sends them home
I've never had a sleepover
nah it hasnt been 30 but def a while rofl
“You can leave now”
They rule i used to have a ton when i was growing up
XD
The apb special
playin ps2 games in the middle of the night trying not to let the light from the tv bleed too much so the parents don't know we're still awake
whisperin and shit

they're fun
yeah if i have a normal sleep cycle i'm a 6h-er
But I feel like 7 is pretty good
I think if i was living in a perfect world I would be 6h sleep at night + 1h nap in the middle of the day
8 is the recommended afaik
but they won't let me take a 1 hour nap in the middle of work smh
i track my sleep with my apple watch and it claims i got almost 6 hour
see all those awakes
How does the watch track your sleep
jesus
How does it even know
Ghash and me on the same page here
i guess gasping and shit
Like, I move around quite a bit in my sleep but I'm still asleep
inc heart rate + movement = awake
wear apple watch and movement and stuff
What if I’m just dreaming about Ghash
it's not like 100% accurate but it shouldn't be that wavy
its been shown to be relatively accurate but yeah not as solid as a sleep study
what are you dreaming about ghash that raises your heart rate?
I don't think that's any of your business
zamn!
you guys ever dream a whole separate life with like a family and kids you don't have
u guys shoul start tracking ur sleep its pretty fun
my sleeping has been so fucked lately
i had a dream i was happy last night... I woke up confused 

i've had this happen once and it was the most jarring and emotionally distressing dream ever
I don't own a smart watch. Never really understood the point of them.
that reminds me of the lamp story
yeah i think it probably was because i had read the lamp story
and my brain incepted me
I hardly remember my dreams
i don't think the lamp story is true though, or at least, heavily embellished, you don't remember dreams that well
and time's all fucky in them anyway
I think not remembering dreams is good it means ur REM sleep is solid
I also don’t have a smart watch
should try smart watch theyre great imo
for walking and sleeping and excercising
can get a cheap one even
and coma patients don't just go from like 0-100 wakefulness so that part is like... idk. about half of the story is very made up imo
I had one for a while but it diedged
It's extra money I have to pay for the watch and then every month on top of it, just so I can...not pull my phone out to check the time?
the other half is reasonably believable
I have this nice little timepiece from Walmart
my sleep is good when I'm asleep but I have issues falling asleep and waking up
If I want something for walking/sleeping/exercising, I can just get a normal fitness tracker like a fitbit and save some money
i hate how when i wake up at 5:30 i feel fine. but if i choose to go back to sleep till like 7:00 i wake up groogy and tired 
fair enough those are good too ya
it's def not real
but it's a spoopy story
I'm not judging if you have a smartwatch btw. I just don't personally think I would get any value from one.
fair enough for sure
def not for everyone
they are a gimmick in some ways ya
but some cool benefits too
All watches are gimmicks
This reminds me that my parents tend to sleep separately and for the longest time as a kid I never understood why
and then when I first slept with a partner I was like "oh, I get it lmao"
if you sleep poorly, it's legit a nightmare for the other person 💀
like idk how people can sleep in the same bed as someone with sleep apnea
I tried to send a text on someone's smartwatch once
i would kill them I think
idk how people do it
lol I wouldnt go that far personally
People snoring makes me feel murderous intent
I find watches provide some solid benefits
One of the things I like about just having a regular watch is that I just check it for the time instead of my phone which has lead me to not “use” my phone so much which feels like I’m cleansing myself from constant device usage
Maybe it’s just in my head though
I guess these days watches have lost some value cant deny that though yeah
in terms of utility
I don't use my phone that often unless I'm winding down for bed
Unless you’re actually tracking your time running and can’t pull out a phone, or in a work site or something like that, but 99% of time now watches (all of them) are gimmicks or luxury fashion items
But I check the time on it a fair bit
there's a level of snoring I can tolerate/find cute but if it's actually waking me up i'd be like "i am sleeping on the couch cya"
Though my job is a desk job, so I can just see it on my PC monitor too
ya for people with active jobs and stuff smart watches are invaluable
my phone is exclusively for scrolling when I'm in bed or on the toilet and chatting to my buds on discord
lol
also there's like
a LOT of leg kickers in beds. it's infuriating
dont fall in
if I was on the toilet my sentences would be capitalised
XD
thats actually true with me also now that you mention it
That’s so sick
damn you autocorrect
Now we can identify what yam is doing
the poop self report..
hey I could be in bed too you never know
though I rarely check this discord in bed
Yeah but in my head, you're always going to be on the toilet
so yeah I'd say 80% chance I'm poopin
We're gonna be like "man, yam poops a lot"
lmao
Speaking of autocorrect though, does anyone else feel like autocorrect has gotten way worse over the years?
Yeah it feels that way
Like I remember my first couple smartphones, I could type the most nonsense shit and it'd be like oh you meant this and I'd be like fuck yeah I did, nice job
Now I'll type a perfectly normal word and it'll be like did you mean this other perfectly normal, but not at all relevant to this context, word?
I can’t wait for everyone to be putting together some kinda like hardcore dungeon run
And yam is in on it
But yam hasn’t logged in yet and their messages are capitalized
lol
Ghash is immediately gonna be telling everyone they gotta wait for the poop sesh to be over
I'd be in the in-game party chat like "Hey just fyi, yam's taking a shit."
XD
i mean isnt that standard?

my friend got bothered once cause I told the puggers he was poopin
Well, if someone says they need a few mins before starting, I do tend to tell people they're pooing
We can just let the Europeans in discord know why they’re waiting for ya
I wouldn't even be up right now but I gotta make this campaign post shortly, then maybe nap time
Campaign post?
yeah, some marketing thing with wow for my M+ server
Oooohh
Stayed up way too late and now I'm super duper sleepy
I feel like there’s an exodus happening heading into midnight
Makes me worry that things will be simpler which is perfect for meeeee but my homies will be gone
Like nome
My participation in Midnight will depend on two things. One is just if friends are playing, because I don't play by myself anymore really. Two is if I can still customize the game to the extent that I don't hate looking at it.
Which it seems like I will be able to
i aint raiding next tier at the least. its just the same shit over and over
need to not feel burnt out
I'm mythic raiding this coming tier for the 2nd time ever so I guess I do have to play a bit for that
Kind of a test run to see how I like it
Couldn’t you
I'll play wow again when they get a new game director
Didn't stop peeps in my old guild in Shadowlands from doing it. Though that's probably why we only killed 3 bosses
yeah m+ is mandatory for mythic raid prog afaik
which is goofy
they should really split the system up imo
well its the same in regard to high m+ u need to raid really too
yeap for them trinkies
the onlysolution i have is each type of content each season starts with a set )like pvp does now)
which is disabled in other content
Ya unfortunately with how gear progression works, you cant really get away with one without the other. You can kinda m+ without raid to a point but youll be behind in crests and trinkets
Putting good trinkets on late bosses and they end up being mandatory for m+ is so cringe
especially with the mythic requirement for dinars now
If you raided exclusively and didn’t do m+, people like Jakey could at least clear N and H relatively easily basically asap right? What if you just took a couple weeks to grind more H raids and kill easier M bosses? Would you really be hard stuck in the raid?
I dont care about normal or hc
Ya its a mythic thing
And kinda troll to your raid group honestly
Like even if u only did it week 1 to fill out hero gear, itd be pretty bad to not have the m+ vault slots and the crests
mythic + vault slots are where most of my upgrades come from
might be slightly different next season etc as split raids so when u on the last raid u can still clear the easy bosses without extending which is cool
What about, 1 piece of gear, two tracks. You can upgrade your gear for M+ or for Myth raid (or both) by getting upgrade materials from that specific content

Downside is doing mythic doesn't benefit m+ and vice versa but completely detaching them from eachother is good imo
I think the determination to use a system like that would largely depend on the percentage of players that do one or the other but not both
so you'd have
1/6 Mythic , 1/6 M+ Myth (call it something else ig?) and can upgrade those separately and their ilvl switches depending on instance type
Because if most people who do one are also doing the other, it's not a great idea to separate it because it'll just make everyone feel like they're doing more work
Honestly, have the dinar system and make it warbound. There’s a lot of people that m+ on alts and have to worm their way into a raid clear for gear
More work isn't bad if the content is fun, you get two things to progress!
but yeah I guess
crests should be warbound on turbo boost
True
i hate farming crests and stones on alts (such a waste of fucking time)
I know stones are going but now u need even more crests for upgrades
it's true

If i have like 6k gilded between 3 characters, i should be allowed to craft some gear on an alt
How much is the system being bad and how much is it everyone optimizing the fun out of the game
I mean it should be almost trivial to catch an alt up to your main imo
Because I see both opinions
you've already been timegated for weeks
70% bad
why is my alt literally like 12 weeks behind once my main is done
more imo
90% bad
I doubt we ever get a fully functional alt catch-up system
it's trivial to optimise because it's a simplistic, shit system
Like the optimization of gearing and crests doesnt matter after a month or two
Its really just being smart the first 2-3 weeks
the optimisation is literally "don't waste crests on non-myth slot/crafted slot" and spam m+ to get a decent baseline ilvl
gee
so complex
There’s more to the optimization than simply using crests though
The discy here always has people fretting over getting max vault rewards asap
Even though tons of people aren’t as good as they think they are
Max m+ rewards are week 1, doesnt matter
But with how raid vault works, u want to be in a big guild now
well +10s week 1 is trivial for anybody here I'd say
Does anyone know how crest discounting works in Midnight? Like I know the crests are specific to track, but if I have a hero 6/6, do I get any sort of discount on myth on the first upgrade?
There was datamining for the new crest system, but nothing official afaik
need 150 crests to go from 1/6 to 6/6 if i recall correctly
for each track
10 - 20 -30 - 40 -50 per level
Hasnt been blue posted tho, might not happen
Yeah, but there's still overlap on the final upgrade of the lower track with the 1st upgrade of the higher track. So I'm just curious if I have a 6/6 hero piece, and get a myth item of that slot, do I get the first upgrade for no myth crests?
Probably
I guess at least it's cheaper on the lower end of the track
But ti does mean that you're better off spending the 50 hero crests on lower hero pieces vs upgrading the final track on the one piece
I don't think there's overlap anymore?
cause every track uses a different crest now
oh ok there is overlap
first 2 overlap with last 2 of previous track but use 10 crests of the new track instead of 40 and 50 of the old
Right
god I just want classic rpg gearing back
you kill a boss and get his sick-ass sword and it's op
i bet they will be changing it til really close to release anyway
and then it will get overhauled in 2nd season
soon they will get rid of gearing entirely and just give everyone loadouts
they didnt hire the call of duty lady to be ceo for no reason
there he is
cynical apb
i knew he was buried in there, deep underneath the sleep apnea
behind the fear of your own mortality
Ky'veza is going to end my life
Who dat
The delve nemesis
I am so torn, I like ya, but come on
I don’t understand that take about gearing, like what would you genuinely prefer? Everytime we have a “boss drops his sick ass sword” people complain about it. People complained about gearing in every expansion
Ya aint doing it now?
ghashlight gatekeep girlboss or whatever
I'm not sure what the question is
Ky’veza ?? isn’t a fight that’s solved by gear since it’s designed to kill you regardless if you fuck it up. It goes faster with gear but you still gotta do all the mechanics, which I appreciated
Pretty sure I won't be able to kill her anyway. Just too much stuff blends in even w/ colorblind mode and I have to do it too many times flawlessly or I die
Probably not realistic
Though I did see the clone dance phase a couple times 😄
You activated the outline setting?
I did 60 attempts before turning it on

I was desperate trying to spot the shadows, then I found the setting, and suddenly they had a red outline. Instead of dark purple on dark purple smoke
This?
Yeah, looks like it
I am colorblind, so things highlighted in red literally do nothing for me. I genuinely don't even see an outline on any of it
Tried the blizzard colourblind settings, to make things pop?
Yes, I always have colorblind on
Ripperino, that mode did save me tho
I am almost always unaffected by color-related things (in WoW anyway), but this fight is just doing me in
Without the outline working, I can see why
Like never had an issue with Netherspite in Karazhan. Didn't have an issue with Maiden's orbs in ToS
But this is just...idk. It's like trying to do the fight when everything is colored camouflage
Yeah mine's set to the same as well
Gearing now is just a means to play the game, rather than being a satisfying part of the game itself outside of getting an overtuned trinket or cantrip
I'd prefer a more horizontal system with unique gear pieces like oldschool rpgs
I believe there's a world where you could have that and have it not be unethical
People will complain regardless though for sure
I actually enjoy gearing up. It's one of the things I like about alts. I just wish it was more about obtaining the piece of gear vs upgrading the pieces of gear I've obtained
yeah exactly
That'd make it more satisfying
Gearing rn is just upgrading to get enough stat value/ilvl that your spec doesn't feel crippled
Okay yeah I admit defeat. I'm almost 60 attempts in and my best pull is 79% and haven't even made it to the clone phase again in like 20 pulls.
First solo content I haven't been able to do, feelsbadman
Took me a 100, as I mentioned, first 60 was just oof
and then it's upgrading to meet dps/tank checks with some leeway for skill issues
Just sleep on it and try again tomorrow
I did that strategy already; I tried some the other day lol
I like gearing up too. It’s more enjoyable when my friends are with me though
I'd like it if the process of acquiring gear was actually a gameplay thing within itself, more like OSRS I guess but idk how you'd fit that into wow without a whole rework of the entire game's scaling and whatnot
I'm friends. I can be with you.
But isnt that going to be gearing regardless? If it takes you having 20% haste to not feel like garbage, you’re either trying to upgrade a piece that has haste or pray a haste piece drops. Either way you’re still chasing the stats not the excitement of getting a piece
I am pretty sure I can do that fight through full muscle memory to this day
Had a couple pulls where I felt like I was doing alright then just had 3 sets of daggers spawn directly on top of each other with no empty space
I just equip bigger number pieces because bigger number means better person
Yeah, that fight do be like that
then you got that 1/10 runs that you actually feel you got some mastery on, ya get motivated, only to get hit by a 1/10 when you die to being dumb and get demotivated
Making the journey to the gear be more meaningful and not just “go grind M+ for a trillion crests” i agree, but even in expansions without upgradable items it still was the same issue, go grind M+ until your properly statted item drops
We just gotta get rid of m+ I guess
Or go back to legion where even if you have the piece you want you gotta farm a titan forge 
It's the inherent flaw with wow being a everything starts from fresh every season game
Idk the solution
So I did play in the times when it was "grind x until I get the item"
All I know is I don't like farming crests to upgrade meaningless items just for specific stat values
it feels soulless
Like I remember farming for a kilt for my druid from heroic Mana-Tombs for months
I played anniversary classic
But once I got it, I got it. I didn't then have to do even more of the dungeon to upgrade the item. I just had the item.
We were hunting items fr fr
Not that it's at all acceptable for an item to take months to drop, but it's just insult to injury when you do that and then have to upgrade it too
Farming BiS is fun for me personally
Or the item drops but you’re in a group with other people who also need it
farming for crests and then oh I've hit this week's cap and now I have to wait to actually fully "unlock" this item
meh
At least usually in farming that piece you end up with more than enough resources to upgrade it
Crest caps and that level of optimization feel like shit
Well, after the crest cap is removed, yes
crest cap and time gates, cringe
But the unfortunate reality is that the crest cap has to exist.
I hate the start of season “upgrade this but not that because you’re fucking over your crest cap” nonsense
osrs has the best gearing out of any mmorpg
I had so much fun the first few weeks of the SL fated season because uncapped crests and farming gear, just fuckin blasting M+ for hours
I said it
It's already bad enough trying to do keys at the start of the season (literal 2nd day of S3, you couldn't find a key below +7). It would be far worse if everyone was degen farming crests and skipping immediately to 10-12+
but wow is too far into the whole seasonal wipe everything thing for that
Everytime I lay my eyes upon OSRS I want to gouge them out, idk I hate the way that game looks lol
This is why we have to have friends
On that subject, they really need to undo the key level squish
disagree
Low level keys are completely useless
they need to squish it more
Everyone should just be doing the key level I need
3-5 are useless, 7-9 are useless, cut it down to 3 levels into infinite scaling
If they unsquish then low level keys are even more useless
No, because it means the upgrade tracks can be more spread out
Everything is so compressed right now
why do you want them more spread out
Because then there would actually be people doing keys in the low end of the range
The only ones that have any use are either the ones that give the most crests of a specific type or the easiest that give the best crest
It's better for the game
Yeah I was gonna say, spreading them out just means longer looking for your one specific key level to get what you need before you move on
It's worse for person A specifically, sure. But it's better in general.
If the max rewards are at +20, more people aren’t going to be doing +6s
but we HAD the unsquished version and no one touched anything below like a 15
back then
^
I was able to find alt keys lower than that all the time, what do you mean?
I can find alt keys doing sub 7 keys now though
Obviously the highest percentage of keys is always going to be max vault and max intermediate rewards
Can you? Because I can literally list my own key and not see even a DPS applicant for 10+ minutes
And it's been like that since literally the 2nd day of the season
I really don't think it has anything to do with the squish
It does. Because when you can gain exponential power by going up only a few key levels, there's far more incentive to just attempt to skip those few key levels
I spent a bunch of time yesterday on my priest in like +4s, I’ve had little issue getting into or making shitter alt keys. But even then, aside from personal anecdote, flooding the group finder with keys of +2-+10 isn’t going to change the perception of those keys, they’re still going to be shitter alt keys. More varied in their specific number, but it’s the same principle
so instead of 2-5 being the first tier of crests, it'd be what, 2-8? I don't remember, so you'd get 1 more key in that range from +3ing keys on your way up
So theoretically you'd get twice as many keys in each bracket
If it's spread out over a broader number of levels, then that same increase requires a lot more levels, making it far less likely without outside help that you can just skip to it.
I'm not talking about shifting perception because perception is objective anyway
I don't care if people like you and me still see them as shitter alt keys
I care about the game being healthier
I'm not talking about perception either
I was responding to Pash
o
I'm just too lazy to right-click>reply every time
yeah I didn't read his post
I don’t think all the keys you think are useless are actually useless
I think when every key below like 12 has an 80% success rate
or higher
They're mostly useless
The difficult increase per key isn't meaningful at that point
You get a lil bit more crests for doing a 3/4/5 over a 2 sure
Where are you getting that number? If I do +2s, then sure, my success rate is going to be pretty damn high. But if Pash does +2s, he's probably only timing like 10%
👀

Also I'm capitalising but not pooping oops
raider.io has stats for success rate per key level for every season
notably it doesn't include abandoned keys
There are people who enjoy doing some easy keys and don’t want to push up to even 10
Regardless of success rate, that makes those keys useful
Yeah I'm not saying delete that difficulty bracket
well I memed about deleting everything below 12
I think at the end of the day I don’t think spreading the key levels out is going to have any kind of genuine effect on the health of the game, you’re going to see the same amount of keys done in their ranges
but I've posted my real suggestion here before
How far do Raider.io stats go back because we can literally go see key completion rates when the scales were different
And maybe my perspective is overly biased and the numbers will prove me wrong but
+2-5 = +1 (You can dungeon finder this)
+6-9 = +2 (You can dungeon finder this)
+10-ish = +3 (You can dungeon finder this)
+12+ = m+
I don’t think we’ve seen a meaningful change in keys done in different brackets
rewards are the same per bracket
that's my suggestion
I don't see a downside
at all
I am not entirely against having queued M+ for a select range of keys
I think that, with the new low key affix would actually be a boon for the content
Just take the average difficulty of each bracket, make it 3 tiers and put it in the dungeon finder
then infinite scaling for normal m+ and it starts at +12 diff
would be good imo
it gets rid of the useless keys in the brackets, funnels people in those brackets into one pool for each bracket
I don't know if I'd start normal that high
and keeps the higher end content the same
I'd probably start normal at the level that gives max vault
I do think m+ should somehow be decoupled from raiding. I’m fairly confident there’s a fair number of people who would prefer being able to do one or the other
And truthfully I think there are a lot of people who could do one or the other but just copy what the aristocrats do
yeah it's just a concept there's prob a better way to do it
I don't know if that's realistically possible without actually fully separating the two. Like my immediate thoughts (granted I'm not clever) would be okay, disable raid trinkets/cantrips in M+. That would fix M+ers having to raid, but raiders would still have to do M+ and raiders will ALWAYS have to do M+ because it's the only repeatable source of gear
All suggestions must be fully fleshed out design docs or the council will burn you at the stake
I think my idea of two separate tracks on one gear piece for m+ and mythic is good too
I thought you wanted to move away from item tracks though
Also doesn’t that still drive people to do the other content, arguably more?
I mean ideally the game would have a whole different gearing system since like cata
I'm just saying for the current system
if you had to level m+ gear up by doing m+ and raid gear by doing raid
but it's the same piece
You could scale and balance that content separately
without the need of two gear sets and annoying things like that
I really loved gearing during the badges era (though please burn relinquished vendors at the stake)
But it won't work for M+ existing
Downside is if you do both you might feel like you have to do more work, but if you do both you're already doing more work right now anyway
If I hate raid and a raid trinket is overwhelmingly good for my M+ spec, wouldn’t that mean I now have to do MORE raid since I can only upgrade the raid gear through raiding? Instead of getting it once and upgrading through my preferred content?
No you simply wouldn't have raid trinkets be good in m+
You can easily make M+ers not have to raid but it's harder the other way around
Since they're on separate tracks, you can have them scale differently based on the content you're in
I mean it could be like PvP as well, where each just has a different set of gear entirely and you get the raid gear from raid and the M+ gear from M+
your gear will have different numbers on it in raid (you get raid-balanced gear) and vice versa
Which I think is kinda what you're talking about, just combined into one item
I don't think it woudl really align with their simplicity focus right now though
Since now your gear is this strong in content x, that strong in content y, and that strong in content z
I think what you do is as soon as you step foot in either a m+ dungeon or a raid, the other content is fully locked out for that character
Maybe I’m not the best to speak on this because I like raid AND m+, but I’m just not meshing with the concept lol
What is this legion
Okay but, let's be real for a second. Wouldn't it be cool if they would at least ITERATE on shit like this? Like try SOMETHING?
This is why private servers are the GOAT just saying
It doesn't have to be this, but I would like some kind of innovation attempts
It's the same as it is now though, just lets them adjust the knobs per-content rather than having to broadly balance gear pieces (like trinkets) to be either good in one or trash in both
Having spaces where people can iterate on the game without blizzard oversight, chefs kiss
Honestly blizzard using servers for a new gearing iteration aside from the primary game could be neat
If it works well they could just move it over
like, raid could have a whole thing where AoE trinkets are nerfed
Yeah just have like full-time PTR where they just throw shit out there for two weeks at a time and see what people like/what works well
but they could be cool and stronk in m+
The problem is so many trinkets are generically good stat stick type things
How would you tune antenna? Just make it give you shit crit in M+?
and since tweaking the item can be done per-track, they could adjust it in m+ and not affect raid and vice versa
and since the tracks are explicitly on the item, it comes with the intuition that they'd scale different based on the content they're in
rather than just "magically" performing like shit with weird things like soft caps or whatever
Just to clarify, with tracks you mean like I get a normal antenna and it says (Champion (Raid) - 1/8)
Something like that yeah
With a rider somewhere that says (This item scales differently in non-raid content)
You can’t trust players to intuit anything, hell people don’t get PVP gear and it’s printed on the box
Also where does world content (lol) factor in
Gleep Glorp 2H Axe
2/6 M (Raid) 6/6 M (M+) 1/6 PvP
hold alt or whatever, shows the 3 different sets of numbers
Okay wait I see a vision now
World should just scale to the highest high
Yeah I would agree with that as well
World content doesn't need to be limited in any way
Essentially you can go get your Helmet from any content but to upgrade it for a specific content type (Raid M+ PvP) you need content specific currency?
yeah
It might be a lil convoluted but it lets them adjust scaling per-content and not have to think "oh we can't make this m+ trinket too good in raid, make it super whelming in m+"
my ideas are simply the best
Wait so if I raid and do m+ I need to grind two different currencies to max out every piece of gear I have?
well you should get enough by simply doing that content as much as you normally would
well, realistically you would get the raid currency by just raiding
yeah doing m+ doesn't benefit your raid
which your'e doing anyway
but that's the point
you also don't have to raid to max out m+
if you only care about one
I think it would have to be designed where you were not incentivized (aka required) to do normal/heroic raid as a mythic raider to get more currency
also they could do stuff like m+ specific tier set bonuses
gimme dat
would be nice for fixing healers in m+
Nope get rid of tier set bonuses again I want azerite 2
imo the only good thing to come out of tier sets getting removed was having armor from raid look like it comes from that raid
Do you guys think tier sets actually look cool on average?
Some of them yeah
Priest set this tier looked fire, same with warlock and shaman
They usually have a few bangers across the classes
Also Evokers get really nice tier sets for a class that can’t even wear them
yeah it's comical
Anyway yeah, I'd really like them to just do a survey, poll, test things in PTR
rather than leave it 6 months and then go uhhh yeah we've made this one singular change that doesn't really change much
how long did it take for them to remove valorstones
6 seasons?
It's funny though I don't remember them being much of an issue in DF
but they were just annoying in tww
Too focused on how you had to get 15 crest fragments to make a crest
You want wow to be designed by wow players? Insane
It was kinda weird how it went from we have so many valorstones that we need to make sparks cost valorstones to make, to why do I never have enough valorstones XD
idk why they ever thought there had to be two currencies
🤷
honestly what if m+ gear scaled infinitely in my system too
ig that'd fuck over title
would be fun gameplay tho
1/6 raid, 20 m+, 1/6 pvp 
would be goofy and you'd have to make brackets with caps so you can't just go smash +10s to carry people solo
yeah that's a bad idea
okay not all my ideas are the best
Lemix in retail pog
ig you could just cap it to current level + a couple
but yeah I'd rather not have that
trying to setup keybinds for this is proving to be difficult. im also new to wow so that doesnt help
Yeah keybinds on a tank feels like a bit much when you're starting out
You get like +10 automatically by being a tank
yeah, this is what im currently working with. TKL with a FPS mouse. im sure im missing some things. have the single button at the end for when i panic and lose track
use shift and ctrl modifiers
i have some shift mods. ctrl feels too uncomfortable when adding in movement
Slam, Rend, Whirlwind, and Hamstring can all be taken off the bar
There's a couple you can drop and one or two you can combine, plus a big tip I always add is put your off gcd abilities one the hand that doesn't do your main rotation
Also in a few days a few buttons are being removed alltogether, like Last Stand and Champions Spear
We typically talent Whirling Blade over Ravager, so thats another keybind you can kill
yeah, im just using my time now to sorta grasp the prot warrior role
not investing too too much time
intervene can be macrod with charge
Fair. It will get a smidge simpler with prepatch on tuesday so keep that in mind
But like intervene hasn't really been used for a while
Yeah I'd swap off Intervene and Ravager, and drop Hamstring/Rend/Whirlwind/Slam from the bar entirely
i havent even used it, it just exists on the bar lol
Usually the way it goes, every once in a while it's good for boss mechanics
Like Necrotic wake
I dont even take it personally lol
ye like SoB
finally got my last dinar
